Xbox 360 Game: Devil May Cry: HD Collection
Posted by Game News on Apr 22, 2012 | Leave a Comment
With over a decade between the release of this collection and the first game, it should be obvious that Devil May Cry is going to look a bit retro. It’s a new kind of retro, the kind that came after 8-bit games and the first home consoles, and it’s now a bit improved with the HD Collection treatment. Where we noticed the HD was mostly in the smoothing of textures, compared to playing the raw originals. It’s nice to see things refreshed for experienced players and newbies alike,...
Xbox 360 Game: Ridge Racer Unbounded
Posted by Game News on Apr 22, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Ridge Racer Unbounded is a game destined to polarize. On the one hand, it is so fundamentally different from its predecessors that it risks alienating the franchise’s most hardcore fans. It borrows several elements from other well-known racing franchises, which makes it come across as somewhat derivative. On the other hand, it absolutely does the best it can with what it has to work with, resulting in a game that is so much fun to play that most racing fans should be able to look past its...
Xbox 360 Game: The Pinball Arcade
Posted by Game News on Apr 20, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Pinball FX 2 had the virtual pinball market on lockdown for a really long time, and it arguably still does. However, a new challenger has appeared: Farsight Studios’ The Pinball Arcade. It may be a competitor, but the truth of the matter is that it fills a niche of its own. The machines it delivers are recreations of actual pinball tables. Considering how many real-life pinball tables there are, the future looks bright for this newcomer.
There is no denying The Pinball Arcade’s dedication...
Kinecting with Skyrim
Posted by IGN on Apr 20, 2012 | Leave a Comment
As divisive as Kinect can be, it’s still been seeing its way into a wide breadth of Xbox 360 experiences, ranging from casual family fare to core games like Mass Effect 3. Now, one of the biggest hits of last year is seeing its own form of Kinect implementation as Kinect support is coming to Skyrim. This isn’t a slapdash addition either, as Bethesda will be adding in more than 200 voice commands for Kinect users, controlling everything from ally commands to skill tree management. The...
Xbox 360 Game News: Call Of Duty Tactical Game Prototype Video Unearthed
Posted by G4TV on Apr 20, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Call of Duty is not a series that is known for its strong tactical focus on warfare, and yet that’s the sort of game that Vicarious Visions was working on, as we see in a newly unearthy prototype video. The look at the canceled game comes courtesy of animator Steve Nelson’s personal website by way of Twitter’s Supererogatory.
Nelson’s website appears to be down right now, probably because the collective weight of the Internet is crushing in on it for a glimpse at the canned,...

After keeping Prey fans in suspense for the past two months, publisher Bethesda has finally confirmed Prey 2 remains in development. It has, however, been delayed out of 2012 according to a surprisingly straightforward statement released earlier today.
“Development of Prey 2 has not been canceled but the game will not be released in 2012 as planned,” the statement read in part. “The delay is due to the fact that game development has not progressed satisfactorily this past year,...

Xbox 360 Game News: Max Payne 3’s James McCaffrey on "Wild Experience" of Resurrecting an Icon
Posted by G4TV on Apr 19, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Max Payne 3 marks the return of grizzled, pill-popping, time-bending super cop Max Payne. It’s been almost a decade since gamers have worn Payne’s hard boiled gumshoes, but Rockstar Studios has made it a point to ensure Max’s return is as explosive and attention grabbing as he was when he first dive-strafed player’s hearts all those years ago. And while non-stop cinematic action is the core of the Max Payne series, the real heart and soul lies with the titular cop, more specifically...
